Trivia:

According to Sonny Crockett's character history he volunteered for military service in Vietnam in the early seventies. This is based on the real actions of Don Johnson who attempted to join the United States Marine Corps around that time. However, unlike Crockett who served a combat tour in Vietnam, Don Johnson was rejected by the marines due to a criminal conviction for drug possession.See more »

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the beginning of the episode "Calderon's Return, Part 1", a hired assassin, supposedly one of the best in the world, is seen putting on surgical gloves to keep his fingerprints off the gun he is about to use. However, before he puts on the gloves, he moves the gun off of them by touching the gun butt with his fingertips.See more »

What can I say about Miami Vice that hasn't already been said, except
that it is the greatest TV show ever made in the history of television.
It quite obvious the best season of Miami Vice is the first season.
Season one was the season where Vice really focused all it's episodes
in real life situations. Situations which really happen in real life.
Vice started with a bang with the excellent pilot episode, and it never
looked backed for the next 22 episodes. Season one was everything that
made Mimai Vice what it is now. Action, drama, intensity, thrills ,
music, style, and relationships. One episode that features all this, is
Calderone's Return- Part 1 and 2. Two really fantastic episodes. Other
great episodes of season 1 are The Great McCarthy, Little Prince, Milk
Run, I can go on and on. One truly classic season.

As good as Season 2 was and it was good, it doesn't compare to Season
1. The problem with season 2, is the show focusing on bizarre
situations such as voodoo, satanism, and other weird stuff. Season 2
featured three episodes that I consider awful. Whatever Works, Tale of
the Goat, and Bushido. Three episodes that season 1 would of never of
thought of making. Even though I don't like these episodes, I still
consider season 2 a very good season. It just doesn't even come close
to the flawless season 1. I do think though that season 2 features the
greatest Miami Vice episode of all time which is The Prodigal Son. A
well directed, very entertaining Vice episode that features lots of
action, drug busts, romance, and totally awesome 80's music. Your not a
real Vice fan if you don't like The Prodigal Son.

It's sad to say, out of all five seasons of Vice, only the first two
seasons defy what Miami Vice was and are the only two seasons that
really kick Miami Vice ass!! Season 3 became more of a darker Vice that
took away everything that made the first two seasons such a highly
entertaining show. Gone was the pastel background colors, snappy pop
tunes, and Crocketts famous look that made him an icon among men and
his fast wheeling car. Dark broody colors were replaced in the
background, the music was replaced with unknown artists, and Crockett
looked more like a banker/rock star, and his beloved Spider Ferrari was
replaced with a Testarossa. Which was blown up in the season premiere
of season 3 When Irish Eyes are Crying.

Season 3 took out all the fun and excitement of the first two seasons
and replaced it with a more darker depressing Miami Vice. The outcome,
ratings dropped, and the show was not Miami Vice that everyone fell in
love with. I think the problem lies with the shows producer John
Nicolla, who left and was replaced by Dick Wolf who probably was never
in favor of the pastel energetic Mimai Vice of the first two seasons.
So if anyone is to blame of Vice's downfall, it's Dick Wolf. Creator
also of the lame Law and Order series.

I have nothing to say about seasons 4 or 5 except that was this really
Miami Vice the show that was unlike any other in the history of
television. I have nothing good to say about seasons 4 or 5, except
horrifically awful, especially season 4. Can't get any worse than that.

There is great news though as of this writing Miami Vice is finally
being released on DVD. Season 1 that is. The complete season of all 22
episodes and it's original music intact. Wow what a collection that
will be, I can't wait. Presume to come out later this year, around
Christmas time. What a Christams present that will make! Miami VICE
LIVES ON!!! THE GREATEST DAMN SHOW EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF
TELEVISION!!!
